John T. Reed articles about opening a Canadian bank account

Copyright John T. Reed 2014

I have written a great many articles about opening and using Canadian bank accounts as a way to protect your life saings from possible future USD hyperinflation. See my book How to Protect Your Life Savings from Hyperinflation & Depression, 2nd edition.

One way to find them—and the way that is most up-to-date—is to use the search box on most of my web pages to search for words like Canada, Canadian, Canadian bank account, and so on within my web site. On this web page, the box is to the right of the first paragraph of this article.

Here are the results of such a search that I did myself on 3/25/14:
